Crackdown on E-Cigarette Sales in Anti-Drug Campaign

Jul.26.2022
Local youth group, administrative staff, and teens raided e-cigarette vendors as part of an anti-drug campaign. Restrictions on sales recommended.

As part of Drug Awareness Month, the youth brigade of the Bashmakovsky district, led by local branch manager Khanum Korzina, along with staff from the regional administrative department and teenagers participating in the "Meaningful" program, raided electronic cigarette sales points.


Ilya Shcherbakov, the head of the regional branch of MGER, expressed concern over the prevalent bad habit of smoking, which not only negatively affects the health of minors but also impacts their entire families. He suggested that retailers and sellers require buyers to provide their passports and refuse to sell products if they are not present.


As part of a raid, sellers were informed that the law completely prohibits the sale of nicotine-containing tobacco products to minors. There is also a responsibility to prevent children from participating in tobacco consumption or nicotine product processes by purchasing tobacco products, tobacco or nicotine products, hookahs, and equipment for children.


At each transaction facility, the Youth League left a memo specifically discussing this topic.
